Show HN: I built a weather site for the Eastern Caribbean

Quality: 6/10 Relevance: 7/10

Summary

A lightweight weather and hurricane-tracking site for the Eastern Caribbean built with PHP/MySQL, Cloudflare, Visual Crossing API, and Leaflet.js. The key insight is reworking the interpretation layer (wind descriptions, 'feels like', condition summaries) to suit a Caribbean audience rather than default temperate-climate assumptions. The author also documents lessons learned with a linked write-up.
